Here to Answer Your Wedding Photography Questions

My style is relaxed, natural, and documentary-led, with a focus on capturing genuine moments and emotions as they unfold throughout your day. While I photograph beautiful, timeless portraits and group shots, the majority of my work is candid and storytelling-driven — from quiet, intimate moments to laughter-filled celebrations. I aim to create a gallery that feels authentic, emotive, and uniquely yours, preserving the atmosphere, details, and connections that make your wedding day special.

Documentary wedding photography (also called reportage or candid photography) focuses on capturing real moments as they happen — the laughter, tears, and little details that make your day unique. There’s no awkward posing, just honest storytelling and genuine emotion.

I ask for a £195 retainer fee when booking to reserve your date. This retainer fee is fully refundable if you cancel my services within a week of paying.

Yes absolutely! I do have my own shot list I go by, however if there are any special shots you want, please do let me know.

Of course! All my packages and booking include 3 face to face meets with one another.

The first is purely a friendly meet get to know each other and see if we collaborate well, discuss what it is your looking for in me, to dive a little into your day and most importantly to see if you feel I am the right photographer for you, this meet doesn't involve any money it is complimentary.

Roughly 6 months Prior - The 2nd is to discuss your day, what styles you prefer, what posed shots you want, general run down of your day, times, locations ect, all the information you have.

Within the last few weeks - The 3rd meet is just to confirm any last minute details that may have changed, to finalise the shot list you may have given me and add anything and generally discuss how amazing your special day is going to be!
